Grandstream HT841 4-Port FXO Gateway
Grandstream HT841 4-Port FXO Gateway
The Grandstream HT841 is an FXO gateway. It connects up to four analog phone lines from the phone company to your VoIP phone system, so you can keep existing copper lines (or a line you can't port yet) and still run everything else on SIP.
One FXS port is there for an analog phone or fax machine, and it doubles as a lifeline: if the power goes out, Grandstream hard-relays that FXS port to an FXO line, so a phone on it still works over the copper line.
Quick guide to the two port types: an FXS port provides dial tone, so you plug in an analog phone, fax machine, door phone or overhead paging amplifier. An FXO port takes dial tone, so you plug in an analog phone line from the phone company. Our Crosstalk PBX appliances are pure VoIP with no analog ports, so an ATA or gateway is how you bring analog devices or phone lines onto the system.

Good to know
- No power supply in the box. It runs on PoE (802.3af) from your switch, or a Grandstream 12V/1A adapter.
- Both network ports are Gigabit in bridge mode. In NAT router mode, Grandstream rates them up to 100Mbps.
- Fax over VoIP works best when your SIP provider supports T.38. Test your fax machine on the line before you rely on it.
- Need eight lines? The HT881 is the same gateway with eight FXO ports.

Frequently asked questions
What does an FXO gateway do?
It connects analog phone lines from the phone company to a VoIP phone system. The HT841 takes up to four lines.
Does the HT841 come with a power supply?
No. It runs on 802.3af PoE or a Grandstream 12V/1A adapter, sold separately.
What happens to the HT841 during a power outage?
Its FXS port is hard-relayed to an FXO line, so an analog phone plugged into it can still use the copper line.
